Watch Margot at the Wedding For Free

Did you people see the same film I saw?

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

I'm a fan of his films, Greenberg is bitter and undeniably hilarious. Mistress America and Frances Ha are quirky and have a peculiar sense of humor but it gets to you. They are more indie in the sense that the plot revolves around young people realizing themselves, in one way or another. In this film none of the protagonists seem to have that effect on you. They are selfish and ridiculous in the bad sense of the word. The theme was interesting, family members wanting to help and forcing their opinions down on you, however the choice of actors IMO was poorly executed and Nicole Kidman could have done a better job or had have a supporting actress that would have taken the importance away from her. There were some scenes that were funny but overall I did not enjoy the film nor would I watch it again.

A tad bit depressing and dark for me, I kept hoping some of the characters would break free from their cynicism, angst, etc. What I liked most about this movie was the soundtrack. Although much of it was part of the scene and a distant, hardly audible stereo playing in the background, still it was very good.

So far the worst movie I've seen. The characters can't be thought to be real. Some of the actors and actresses -and now I think for rather Kidman were worst than ever and still I don't mention Jack Black whom I always hated and his "acting stuff" is just a joke. He has no place in a "drama", but this whole story was rather a real bad joke and an ironic tale about a nonsense and "can't be real" family. That's just the pie in the sky that the movie couldn't tell me anything important, every single event and thing were absolutely predictable and had no sense. Probably something went wrong during the scrip-writing or during telling the actors what to do.

While an intelligent portrait of a highly dysfunctional family that shares a lot in tone and style with Baumbach's 'Squid and the Whale', this is colder, more distant and less moving. That's OK, and it's still WAY above most of what's out there, but it's hard not to feel there's a great movie trapped in this good one. One thing that hurts is that (unlike 'Squid') the acting is uneven. Jack Black, an actor I always enjoy, seems a bit uncomfortable playing a tragic as well as comic figure. But this is one of those complex films I'll re-visit one day, and could imagine liking more on re- seeing, being prepared for it's difficult tone.
